A. Methods of Verification

Owners must use verification methods that are acceptable to HUD. The owner is responsible for determining if the verification documentation is adequate and credible. Acceptable methods of verification, in order of acceptability: 1) upfront-income verification (UIV) with use of EIV being mandatory and use of non-EIV UIV being optional; 2) third-party verification from source (written), 3) third-party verification from source (oral), and 4) family certification. If third-party verification is not available, owners must document the tenant file to explain why third-party verification was not available. Appendix 3 provides a detailed list of acceptable forms of verification by type of information.
